    "content": "We must remind Kenyans that in the Financial Year 2018/2019 when we were passing the Finance Bill, the 8 per cent levy on all petroleum products was passed in the National Assembly. I thank Sen. Orengo for coming up with this Motion, but also remind him that his party was part of the people who passed the 8 per cent on all petroleum products. As he brings this Censure Motion, let us see the sincerity in leaders in this country when speaking and acting. Were it not for those Legislators in the National Assembly that passed the 8 per cent increment, we would not be suffering these painful fuel prices. It is important that as we move forward, we do not degenerate this discussion into wanting to cushion the CS who is inclined to a certain political affiliation and favourable to certain people. I have seen hon. Members here trying to absolve certain people from blame. I think this matter is beyond party affiliation. As I speak right now, let us defend Kenyans in general. Kenyans are not divided. I like what Sen. Sakaja always says that a child in Turkana suffers the same hunger as a child in Shamakhokho in Vihiga County. A mother in Uasin Gishu County has the same labour pains as a mother in Kirinyaga County. A Kenyan is a Kenyan. When we bring important matters"
